This section gives the syntax and parameters for all the IEEE 488.2
SCPI commands and the Common commands used by the power
system. It is assumed that you are familiar with the material in
chapter 5, which explains the terms, symbols, and syntactical
structures used here and gives an introduction to programming. You
should also be familiar with chapter 4, in order to understand how
the power system functions.
Subsystem commands
are specific to instrument functions. They can
be a single command or a group of commands. The groups are
comprised of commands that extend one or more levels below the
root. The subsystem commands are arranged alphabetically
according to the function they perform.
Common commands
are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard to
perform common interface functions. They begin with an * and
consist of three letters (command) or three letters and a ? (query).
Common commands are grouped along with the subsystem
commands according to the function they perform.
